Haga to Kawasaki.??

[MadKaw]

With no Ducati Team Haga is looking for a ride and the rumour is he has contacted Kawasaki after seeing the new zx10r..

[Wattie]

oh i wish it was to be true

[aardvark]

I thought Haga was talking about retiring? He doesn't seem like he really wants to be there this year. I don't think Kawasaki need him.

[Six Addict]

ditto aardy, we need some properly talented youngsters on the bike, with a couple of good older guys to help em out...i think haga is too old personally...

someone like leon haslam would be good

[Strika]

I dunno, Haga can and does ride bloody hard when he has things working to his liking. He has been a consistent front runner in WSBK until his recent departure to Ducati. This gives me the impression that he perhaps never got on with the Ducati. That I can understand!! But, if he did go to Kawasaki, it would be great for Kawasaki. Haga can develop and set up a bike well. In addition he can still be a consistent front runner if the bike is competitive. I think one bad run on a Ducati, should not be indicative of a loss of ability.

I'd love to see Nori on a Kawasaki for Kawasakis sake, but not for Nori's sake, as it then suggests he is over it all, as that is the calibre of rider they attract!!!!

[Gosling1]

It would be great to see Nitro on a 10R ! I reckon he would be great for 1 or 2 years....but not much longer than that.

[hoffy]

Im sorry nitro fans, but nori has never been the same since spies beat him, im afraid hes a dead duck !!

[Lone Wolf]

I think the Ducati's the dead Duck. Haga would be awesome on the 10R, he hasn't had many bad years, and would be great be for promo purposes as well

[Six Addict]

If the ducati is the problem, I hope I'm wrong but given recent history the zx10 is also gonna be the problem... I hope I'm wrong tho

[GPZ_Jim]

any word on sykes & vermuelen for next yr? I think Tom has done a great job hauling the kwak nearer to the front than it had been used to

[redzedx7r]

As far as Vermuelen is concerned he has another year to go on his contract. I think Tommy Sykes did himself a big favour by putting the ZX10 on the front row last night as well as two good results before he blagged his tyres.
I am a big fan of Nori chan but I don't think he is the man that Kawasaki need to win a WSBK championship, the commentators were talking up his prospects of riding for Aprilia last night.

[MadKaw]

Yep, looks like its Vermuelen and Lascorz and the possibility of Sykes on the superbike, and I reckon Parkes did enough in the last couple of races to get the supersport ride next year. I'd say Fujiwara will be out and a replacement sort..
